Malvern Instruments has opened a new applications and demonstration laboratory in Brazil.  Located at the São Paulo facility of Malvern’s parent company Spectris, the new laboratory will provide pre- and post-sales support to customers across all of Malvern’s technology areas, and will augment established particle characterisation demonstration labs elsewhere in Brazil.

The new laboratory will be equipped with instruments spanning Malvern’s entire range of particle characterization, protein measurement and rheology systems and will be a highly valuable resource for the company’s dealer in the region, Altmann SA.

The establishment of this new laboratory in São Paulo follows the opening in March this year of a brand new Malvern facility in Houston, Texas, which not only serves customers in the USA but supports some of the emerging markets in Latin America.

“We have a deep commitment to South America and to ensuring that all our customers there get the most out of their investment in a Malvern instrument,” said Brian Dutko, President of The Americas Operations for Malvern. “With excellent distribution partners on the ground and especially strong growth in countries like Brazil we want to lead the market in delivering the best possible customer experience for what are world-leading materials characterization systems.”
